God save  

I In memorable brass let there be writ  
A An everlasting story of a King:  
M Marvel of men! wonder of chiefest wit!  
E Eternal glory doth to England bring.  
S So let his style be framed, and he be said,  
E England's true King, successor of a Maid.   

K Know foreign powers: England's true loyalty,  
I Is bend in service to her Sovereign King:  
N Nor shall the fierce allar'ms, nor frown of enemy  
G Give alteration, or daunted courage bring.  
O O no, she shall, first in a scarlet flood,  
F Fight to the lips, with loss of dearest blood.   

E Even as the day which first proclaimed his name,  
N Never as yet did seem to make an end:  
G Glorious with bonfires piled on stateliest frame,  
L Looked like the morning, the Sun, the night: which  
A A quiet reign, & happy to our King; (did pretend  
N Near ceasing joys and his aeternizing.  
D Do therefore England, marching in stately trains,  
E England's true Leige-lord, welcome bid (King james.)   
God save King James.
